MARDI GRAS BEADS


The third work of the Pearl and Plastic collection are these Mardi Gras beads. The objective of these beads is taken from the phrase. "Cast your pearls before swine". Using my "Mathematical equation" that the Plastic has equal value, (thus, the same equal right) to the pearl. Therefore, the swine has equal value to everything else. These things are made up of pretty much the same atoms, protons and neutrons, the same stardust. So, why shouldn't they be thought of as equal.






It was a beautiful and difficult task to make these beads look cheap,  and feel like Mardi Gras beads… I had to start with the cheapest beads, disguise the pearls and glue the bead in the same separate way that real Mardi Gras beads come from the manufacturer.
